Jeremiah 10:3-5

Young's Literal Translation

³ For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, For a tree from a forest hath one cut, Work of the hands of an artificer, with an axe,

⁴ With silver and with gold they beautify it, With nails and with hammers they fix it, And it doth not stumble.

⁵ As a palm they [are] stiff, and they speak not, They are surely borne, for they step not, Be not afraid of them, for they do no evil, Yea, also to do good is not in them.
